Category Archives: Hard Working Man

Ever since Cody was hired at Collins masonry company, he has had a positive can-do attitude as well as excellent problem solving skills. Cody is the most eager to learn young man I have ever met. Even though his position is intensely physically demanding he constantly takes on additional taskes to make the job operate more smoothly. After only one year in masonry construction Cody has made up his mind to complete his aprentiship as a brick layer, he never quits when he is tired he quits when the job is done! Cody is an inspiration to young people in construction and I wish I had two of him. I truly think Cody has earned hard working man of the week!

He works at a dairy farm from sun up to sun down 7 days a week with no breaks and still drives over from gardnerville to see me and help me out around the house. Hes a selfless, hard working man and deserves to be rewarded for it.

Are names are Alice and Maggie and we are 11 month old twins. We would like to nominate our grandpa, John Armstrong, for the hardworking man award. Our grandpa is a retired fire fighter that does not let retirement keep him from busting his booty. (Can we say that on the air?) Grandpa saved many lives during his career by serving his community as a fire fighter. Being retired doesn’t keep him from helping his community now. Grandpa sat on the Groveland Board for 8 years, helping his town grow and thrive. Grandpa has a big heart and cares about the lives around him.

Grandpa works very hard at taking care of our family. When we were first born, Grandpa made sure mom and dad had meals for the first 6 months we were here. Supposedly we were a handful. He made homemade meals for them just so Mom and Dad wouldn’t miss out on good cooking. Grandpa is always improving the lives of the family by doing cool stuff like building an arena for mom and the horses, helping mom and dad move into our new home in LaGrange, and making funny faces and noises with us in public. Grandpa is silly and we love him. That is why we hope you consider our grandpa, John Armstrong, for the HardWorking Man Contest.

I would like to nominate my step-dad, Gary Sawyer. Gary works so hard not only in his job at Tri-Dam but also every day to help and support our family. He is constantly making improvements on our house, cutting firewood, stacking firewood and tinkering away in the yard and garden; he even washes my mom’s car every weekend, what a gentleman! I am getting married in January and Gary has gone above and beyond with helping me getting ready for the wedding. Not only did he build me an absolutely stunning wedding arch, he goes to my wedding planning meetings with my wedding coordinator, with minimum complaining, and acts as my sound board in making decisions while my fiancé is out of state. Gary is a great dad to his two children and a wonderful step-dad to my brother and I, we couldn’t be happier or luckier to have him in our lives!

Ed Richards is the hardest working man I know. He is a local general contractor and besides the normal work of windows and doors, Ed installs some amazing kitchen and bathroom remodels. Ed works 6 days a week as early as 5am and up to as late as 9pm. This last week Ed gave up his only day off to help Grandmas house in Columbia with some well needed repairs. From making a front door safer, to installing a sub floor, Ed made this nonprofit house brighter and safer. Ed is not only a hardworking man but also an incredible human being. Thank you for your consideration.
